Rappahannock County Country Estate

Bookmark

Rappahannock County Country Estates are often called Virginia’s best-kept secret and it’s easy to see why. Hard against the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this region of sloping hills, lush farms and pastures, thick forests and small, serene communities looks like the modern world has passed it by. And for many, it is exactly this time-at-a-standstill atmosphere that makes a Rappahannock County country estate so appealing.

When you explore the meandering backcountry roads of Rappahannock and breathe in the crisp mountain air, it’s hard to imagine that Washington, D.C. and its buzzing satellite areas are just a little over an hour’s drive away. For many of those who invest in Rappahannock County country estate, it serves as an oasis of calm and a place to get away from it all.

Bordered on the northeast by the Rappahannock River, which separates it from Fauquier County Real Estate, Rappahannock County Real Estate has the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and the counties of Culpeper and Madison to the southeast and southwest, respectively. The county’s total area is 267 square miles and according to 2007 figures, its population is estimated to be a mere 7,199. That gives one a population density of roughly 26 people per square mile – in other words, there’s a lot of space to be had in Rappahannock County.
